Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being informed about the study, all participants giving written informed consent, on the active phase of labor (cervical dilatation = 5 cm), the pregnant women in the experimental group will be provided with a position change lasting at least 30 minutes every hour with a peanut ball. The peanut ball will be used with a sheath that is changed for each participant. Pregnant women in the control group will be included in the study during the active phase of labor (cervical dilatation = 5 cm). No intervention will be made by the researcher. They will receive standard care by the service nurse.
